I was a Democrat and I don't get how Democrats can be ok with Cheney endorsing anyone in the Democrat party. Back when he was VP, he was hated by them, and some Republicans hated him as well. I guess it's because they're the same, neocons.

[@bwb2043]

@@Jeffthedude15 not even neocon... just your good ol' fashioned establishment shill.

[@deez3913]

It's because the Dem party has become right wing as the GOP has moved more to the right. Look at how so many w bush goons are actively involved with the Dem establishment and how dems do little if anything their "voters" care about. Yet voters keep supporting worse "Dems".

[@Oudeis000]

As the saying goes, "politics makes strange bedfellows". The difference between the strange alliance of Harris and Cheney vs Trump and RFK Jr. is that the former are united in suppressing political opposition through the media and the courts and in military interventionism that resorts to war before exhausting all alternative means whereas the latter are united in defending free speech, ending lawfare, prioritizing diplomacy over war, and ending corporatist abuses in the environment, medicine, and food.

[@ronaldvantine4488]

One thing you can say is Trump is not a neocon.

Cheney's backing Harris was, for me, an immediate exposure of the establishment/MIC movement towards the DNC.

[@sherylF5610]

[@janusroland]

yeah, now's the time to vote Green and break the established uniparty duopoly. I can't wait to see the popular vote numbers.

[@davidlarsen4900]

Perhaps an indication that Cheney, as terrible as he is, still has a grasp on reality.

[@janusroland]

@@davidlarsen4900 Or an indication that the political establishment doesn't care if it's a D or an R in the white house, but whether or not it's a candidate they can more easily manipulate and control. The outward appearance of Dem vs GOP is just to keep the masses distracted from the fact that they are all funded by AIPAC, Raytheon, Pfizer and others. Thus preventing any change in the status quo regarding endless wars/coups/gen0cides, and the lack of 1st world universal healthcare. It's time to abandon the uniparty duopoly and vote STEIN/WARE 2024 (Green Party). America doesn't have to be the evil empire anymore.

[@deez3913]

Glenn is one of very few legitimate journalists.

[@ywtcc]

I don't know, it seems he's making the wrong case. After the corporate takeover, suspension of labor rights, and pandemic corporate looting, what we need isn't the message that Democrats are the establishment. It's that the Republicans have controlled the government since the late 1960s, and it's gotten to the point that their business contacts are picking candidates for both parties. If you don't like your corporate politicians, you need to take it up with the branch of government that legalized it, and the political party the supported it, and profited off the politics. Democrats are the opposition party, out of power, and have been for over 50 years. The Fox News framing of insurgent Republicans isn't truthful, or helpful at all. You've got a uniparty partly because American clown journos don't know how their own government works!

[@cs.0903]

I disagree with the headline - both Democrats and Republicans are establishment parties and they simply reflect different factions of the bourgeoisie that has never been monolithic and that never will be. The Democrats are the political agents of Wall Street & Big Tech whereas the Republicans lean more towards representing the interests of the industrial bourgeoisie. It is true however that after the post WW2 boom came to an end in the late 1960s the financial aristocracy has gradually become the overlords of the industrial bourgeoisie - in that sense you might call the Democrats 'ultimate' but that doesn't magically turn the Republicans into a party of the working people & the lower middle class.

[@ms-jl6dl]

A propo your last sentence - nobody believed or claimed that for the republican party but almost everybody believes and claims that for democrats. He's adressing that specific delusion about democrats as a "party for the working class" or "party for disandvantaged groups". That's a never ending joke. I don't think you watch tv or read newspapers.

I accept that Democratic Party is CURRENTLY more pro-establishment but GOP isn't exactly anti-establishment party yet. Support for corporations, "free" trade, military hawkishness, surveillance etc. is almost intact in GOP if you pay close attention. A few loud senators, Trump, and freedom caucus members won't change that fact. But yes, one important difference between both still mostly pro-establishment parties is their bases. Democratic party base, which used to be more anti-establishment, has become fully pro-establishment just because Trump is anti-establishment and they are anti-Trump before anything else. While GOP base, which used to be more corporatist, market fundamentalist, pro-free trade, and hawkish on foreign policy has largely become anti-establishment, largely because Trump is anti-establishment and they are pro-Trump before anything else. I can still picture a GOP politician being pro-free trade, "peace through strength" type hawkish, and corporatist through and through winning GOP nomination in 2028 and the Trump base fully supporting that candidate. Because they are uneducated before anything else.
